North West Cumbria, United Kingdom West Cumbria Rivers Trust Full time

West Cumbria Rivers Trust is an environmental charity dedicated to improving the watercourses and surrounding catchments in West Cumbria for people and wildlife. We have an impressive track-record of successful delivery of projects. We are seeking a Farming Officer to join our passionate team, focused on the catchments of the Rivers Waver and Wampool in the Solway plain, north-west Cumbria.

This exciting new role is funded by businesses from the U.K. food and drink supply chain, who are committed to sourcing fresh produce from areas with sustainable water management and is one of several collective action projects nationally facilitated by the Waste and Resources Action Programme (WRAP).

The Waver-Wampool collaborative action project will support farm businesses in sustainable food production that protects and restores water environments, boosts nature recovery, reduces greenhouse gas emissions and provides climate resilience. The role will involve a mix of farm advice, on-the-ground delivery, and facilitation of knowledge sharing events.

Working closely with farmers and land managers, advisors and agronomists, the Farming Officer will develop individual farm plans and assist farm businesses to secure funding to deliver sustainable land management. This is likely to include environmental land management schemes, slurry infrastructure grants, woodland planting grants, and private investment opportunities. The Famring Officer will also develop and deliver capital projects to improve water quality and enhance in-river and wider catchment biodiversity.

The successful candidate will have a degree, or equivalent experience, in an environmental or agricultural discipline and at least 2 years’ experience in environmental project delivery or agricultural advice. Building and maintaining positive working relationships with the farmers, upon whose land the project will be delivered, is a key aspect of this role. Therefore, strong communication skills and the ability to deal with a wide variety of people in a friendly and professional manner is essential. You will be a self-starter who can demonstrate a committed, mature and flexible approach and have the passion to develop our work in the catchment. You will also have excellent organisational, I.T. and reporting skills. Training and support are available.

The Trust offers a range of benefits including a generous pension scheme, life assurance scheme, flexible working opportunities and a holiday buy-back scheme.

If you believe that you have the passion, commitment and skills to take this exciting opportunity forward then we would like to hear from you.
